We support the peer review process of 1,500 journals with over 300 editorial support agents. We are highly experienced in setting up and validating submitted manuscripts, assigning them to reviewers and handling the final disposition across industry-standard and custom peer review platforms.

Early Author Engagement

We work with authors during their content development phase and answer any queries about content guidelines. We review manuscripts against requirements and also help them with early content standardization items like graphics creation and permissions handling, among others. We also support them in the event of problems related to their LaTex files through our LaTex helpdesk.

Language Polishing

Through our retail services offering, authors can submit their manuscripts for language editing through our website www.prof-editing.com. We handle over 1,500 manuscripts every year with over a 40% repeat usage.

End-to-End Project Management

Our project managers and production editors work as an extension of the publishers’ in-house teams. They coordinate across multiple stakeholders for the timely and error-free delivery of the content.

Rights & Permissions

Our rights and permissions offering includes handling both text and image permissions. In addition to reviewing the manuscript to identify assets that require permissions, we also handle acquisition and administration of such permissions (i.e., granting Level 1 permission requests based on set rules).
